Brian G. W. Manning (14 May 1926—10 November 2011)〔Hurst 2012, p. 118.〕 was an English astronomer who discovered several asteroids. He was born in 1926 in Birmingham. He constructed his first mirror from a piece of glass that a World War II bomb blew out of the roof of the factory where his father worked. He began as an engineering draughtsman but later became a metrologist at the University of Birmingham. In the late 1950s, he constructed an interference-controlled ruling machine in a home workshop, which was able to rule high-quality 3 by 2 inch gratings. In 1990, he received the H. E. Dall prize of the BAA.〔〔http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/obituaries/74240415/brian-george-william-manning-1926-2011〕 ==List of Asteroids discovered by Manning== *4751 Alicemanning discovered January 17, 1991 *4506 Hendrie discovered March 24, 1990 *7239 Mobberley discovered October 4, 1989 *7465 Munkanber discovered October 31, 1989 *7519 Paulcook discovered October 31, 1989 *7573 Basfifty discovered November 4, 1989 *6156 Dall discovered January 12, 1991 *6191 Eades discovered November 22, 1989 *8166 Buczynski discovered January 12, 1991 *8545 McGee discovered January 2, 1994 *8914 Nickjames discovered December 25, 1995 *10381 Malinsmith discovered September 3, 1996 *10515 Old Joe discovered October 31, 1989 *10538 Torode discovered November 11, 1991 *15347 discovered October 26, 1994 *24728 Scagell discovered November 11, 1991 *52633 discovered November 30, 1997 *69273 discovered October 4, 1989 *100690 discovered December 25, 1997 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brian G.
